This was my 14th book finished in 2024.
I've watched the series before, but it was such a long time ago that I couldn't really remember what happened. I read "Full Circle" last year, but I felt this book engaged me a little more, for a reason I don't know.
This has gone from modern to dated, and now 35 years later, to an interesting snapshot of travel life in the late 80s - a world before my time.
Not an awful lot happens (as such) in the book, but Palin is a very engaging and enjoyable writer. I'll definitely read the others in the set.
